Real-Time Low Light Video Enhancement Using Neural Networks On Mobile
By Ayaan Masood - 17 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Video conferencing is a ubiquitous tool for communication, especially for remote work and social interactions. However, it is not always a straightforward plug and play experience, as adjustments may be needed to ensure a good audio and video setup. Lighting is one such factor that can be tricky to get right. A nicely illuminated video feed looks presentable in a meeting, but on the other hand,... » read more

Evolving Edge Computing And Harnessing Heterogeneity
By Alexandre Ferreira - 12 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

In the Evolving Edge Computing white paper, we highlighted 3 challenges to enable the Intelligent Edge, they are: Enabling hardware heterogeneity Removing development friction Ensuring security at scale This blog post examines the first in that list, heterogeneity. It will cover the ways in which heterogeneity appears, its effect on systems and some ideas for resolving its inher... » read more

Challenges And Outlook Of ATE Testing For 2nm SoCs
By Sriharsha Vinjamury - 08 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

The transition to the 2nm technology node introduces unprecedented challenges in Automated Test Equipment (ATE) bring-up and manufacturability. As semiconductor devices scale down, the complexity of testing and ensuring manufacturability increases exponentially. 3nm silicon is a mastered art now, with yields hitting pretty high for even complex packaged silicon, while the transition from 3nm to... » read more

On-Device Speaker Identification For Digital Television (DTV)
By Marcus Corbin - 18 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

In recent years, the way we interact with our TVs has changed. Multiple button presses to navigate an on-screen keyboard have been replaced with direct interaction through our voices. While this has resulted in significant improvements to the Digital Television (DTV) user experience, more can be done to provide immersive and engaging experiences. Imagine you say, “recommend me a film” or... » read more

Understanding Scandump: A Key Silicon Debugging Technique
By Vincent Yang - 13 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Scandump is an advanced silicon debugging technique that ingeniously repurposes DFT (Design For Testability) scan chains for functional debugging. This method allows for the extraction of states from registers or latches that are stitched into the scan chains, providing critical diagnostic insights. Scandump is particularly invaluable when the CPU is deadlocked or when the system hardware bec... » read more

MPAM-Style Cache Partitioning With ATP-Engine And gem5
By Hristo Belchev - 16 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

The Memory Partitioning and Monitoring (MPAM) Arm architecture supplement allows for memory resources (MPAM MSCs) to be partitioned using PARTID identifiers. This allows privileged software, like OSes and hypervisors to partition caches, memory controllers and interconnects on the hardware level. This allows for bandwidth and latency controls to be defined and enforced for memory requestors. ... » read more

BOLT Optimization Technology Could Bring Obvious Performance Uplift On Arm Server
By Bolt Liu - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

BOLT is a post-link optimization technology which builds on LLVM framework, which leverages perf tool to collection sampling data and convert the executable into an optimized version. After evaluating BOLT on several workloads such as MySQL, Redis, memcached and nginx on Arm server, we could see obvious performance uplift. This blog post illustrates the methods used to enable BOLT and per... » read more

Easing Automotive Software Migration
By Prakash Mohapatra - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is on the cusp of seismic change. Multiple trends are occurring simultaneously that are impacting the entire supply chain of the industry. Software-defined vehicles (SDVs), autonomy and electrification are motivating automotive OEMs to holistically rethink the vehicle’s software and hardware development cycles. To better manage multiple compute elements and increasi... » read more

By Adnan Al-Sinan - 15 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Adnan Al-Sinan and Gian Marco Iodice 2023 was the year that showcased an impressive number of use cases powered by generative AI. This disruptive form of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is at the heart OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini AI model, with it demonstrating the opportunity to simplify work and advance education through generating text, images, or even audio content ... » read more

SoC Telemetry & Performance Analysis Using Statistical Profiling Extension
By Brian Jeff - 11 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

The Arm Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE) is an architectural feature designed for enhanced instruction execution profiling within Arm CPUs. This feature has been available since the introduction of the Neoverse N1 CPU platform in 2019, along with performance monitor units (PMUs) generally available in Arm CPUs. An important step in extracting value from capabilities like SPE and PMUs is th... » read more
